LONDON JOURNALS. [Morning Chronicle, Sept. IG To a country• like t his, of which so great a proportion of thy• population is Boman Catholic, it may be useful, as well as curious, to advert to some late proceedings of the Catholics of Germany, which arc under the consideration of the Diet, and w114:11 Are the general subject of conversation both in the Ceithol e and Protestant States of that country. On the death of the late Prince Primate, who was also Mshop of Constance, the Baron Von Wessenherg, his general Vicar in the diocese of Constance, was uninitiated to succeed him. The Pope refused to confirm the nomination, but the Grand Duke of Baden, his Sovereign, maintains him in his sit inition, in d Aimee of the Pope's authority; and in so doing tic is supported by all the Sovereigns of Germany. The Grand Duke of Baden contends, that as Sovereign he is entitled to nominate to the vacant Diocese, and that. such nomination ought to be held good till it be ascertained by Competent judges iu. partilmt that an improper person has l•een chosen. In this case, after the most rigorous inquiry, the has found the Baron Von Wessenbcrg's qualificati•ns of the highest hind, and his conduct to have always been most exemplary, and the refusal on the part of the Pope is there-• fore an arbitrary act, to which no deference ought to be paid. The whole case is laid before the public in a Memorial from the Court of Baden, accompanied by a number of very curious doe o mrnts. It appears that the Baron Von Wessenberg, in his capacity of Grain] Vizor of Constance, sanctioned by the Prince Primate and the Chapter, has been the author of many im portant reforms in the • Church that have long given great urnhuage to the Court of Rowe. Among his other Reforms, it appears that he absolved Mlnhs from the oaths of celibacy, quoti ng the well-known language of the Apostle Paul on the subject—that he caused the service to he translated into, and celebrated in, the mother tongue— hat he dispE used with the use of the Breviary—that he al tered a somber of inconvenient forms with respect to baptism, &c.—that he appointed stated examinations of the Clergy— tluat he abolished all but a few festivals, and prohibited all r'ingin,7 of bells on the days and eves of those abolished—that he, with the consent of the 661 authority, converted Monas teries, &e. into places of education and hospitals—tormed a new and more commodious division of parishes, and distri buted the livings into classes, which were bestowed accord ing to merit, and in which all extremes were avoided—that he discouraged pilgrimages, &c. &c. It appears also that he pro te.cted a Professor %rho had distinguished himself by his skill in liberal learning, after a mandate had been issued against him by the Poim, on the ground that he had ascertained the ace , u;ations in the mandate to he unfounded. The Bishop is supported by all tl►e Clergy of his extensive Jig cese, and indeed by nearly all the Clergy of Catholic Gernuu►r. Among the Lay Catholics there is but one opi- pion concerning him. [Morniv Herald.] Notwithstanding the apparent sameness in the Official Bul letins, we have every reason to bs:lieve, that the excessive de_ bility to which her Majesty has been reduced is now almost daily increasing; and, although some palliation of the more violent symptoms is occasionally produced by the application of anodynes, and her strength, in some degree, supported by c,rdial medicines, yet., froin the pain she suffers, on the slightest Motion, there is, we apprehend, but little doubt, but her malady (which latterly has manifested hydrops, in all its varieties) proceeds from an unusual state of the risrera ; and this, at her Majesty's advanced age, precludes, we fear entirely, all hope or her restoration. A crisis, there fore, and that at no very distant date, is certainly to be ap prehended. Nevertheless, by the skill of her physicians, by incessant care, and by the extraordinary means which have been resorted to, the event may, possibly, be procrastinated for some time, should there be no recurrence of spasm. Yet the s tuation of Kew is materially against this possibility; and it is to he regretted, that her Majesty took up her re sidence there in the first instance, or that she has not been earlier removed. Damp and marshy situations are, in many constitutions, snflicient of themselves to produce hydrops; a :id a warm dry air is almost indispensable for its cure, even in youthful cases ; but the house in which her Majesty re- sides is situated on the low grounds, within a hundred yards of the Thames ; and, during fourteen hours out of the twenty-four. is enveloped in the autumnal exhalations of the river : to increase the evil, too, the very chamber in which she is confined is at the back of the house, and its windows, with only the intervention of a single row of elms, open di rectly upon the water. " It Eight u'Clock, Tuesday Night. " to this hour no serious alteration has taken place in tbe state of her Majesty. Sir Henry Ilalford returned from Windsor, about four o'clock, and Mr. Brande from London, nearly at the same time. In the early part of the day, the Princesses walked in the gardens, attended by Gen. Taylor and Sir Francis Nlilmam At half-past five o'clock, his Royal Highness the Prince Regent arrived from Carlton House, and, after visiting her Majesty, dined with his Royal Sistirs, with the Physicians, and General Taylor. His Royal Highness's horses were ordered for half-past eight o'clock, to return to toWII. " In the course of the Jay, orderly men of the 19th Lancers were sent off twice, both to London and Windsor, with dis patches announcing the state of her Majesty. In the evening, Mr. the Messenger, arrived at the Queen's house, from ; with dispatches fur the Prince Regent; and ano ther Messenger from the Earl of Liverpool at Coombe IVJod." polvdtnaitors anti ret , cls, who either have or may withdraw themselves from tinfir lawfisl allegiance. We have therefore thought proper, in pursuance of the power and authority vested in us by his Majesty, to proclaim alai command, awl we do hereby proclaim and command, that martial law shall forthwith be administered and exe cuted throughout the whole nf•the Candian provinces against all persons within the same, who shall at anytime after the publication of this our procla►vation, cominit any treason, treasonable or set:it - ions practices, robbery, or other outrage or inisdemeanotir whatever; and we do hereby authorise the Officers commandiug his Majesty's forces in the respective provinces, to p►oceed against all and every such person or persons, and to punish the same by death or otherwise ; as to them shall seem right and expedient fur the suppression of the present rebellion, the maintenance of his 'Majesty's au thority, and the restoratio❑ of good order in these provinces. Provided that this our Proclamation shall not be construed to suspend or destroy the authority of the ordinary Magistrates and Jurisdictions, Nv here the same can It v peaceably exercised, restraining the same, however. to civil actions only.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTE4IIBEII 16, 1818. THU QUEEN.---.Tile following is the Bulletin of ibis day : " KEW PALACE, SEPT. 16. " HER MAJESTY has passed a good night, anti appears much recruited this morning. (Signed) " 11. HALFORD. " F. MILNIAN." The Paris Papers of Sunday last, which were due this morning„have not arrived. The Gazette of last night contains an Order of the PRINCE REGENT, in Council, for the further prorogation of Parliament till the 12dt of No ve.mber. We have inserted a long article in our raper of this day under the department of Nov I NCI AL JOURNALS, taken front The Correspondent, a paper published in Dublin, and which h as raised itself into well-merited reputation by the sound ness of its political principles and the spirit with which it supports them. The subject of this ar ticle chiefly relates to the disputes between Spain and her Colonies ; but though we have inserted the article at length, from regard to impartiality, and respect to the Editor, we confess we cannot agree with him in his opinions on the subject.— In the first place, he takes for granted, what is yet only dependent on report, viz. that Spain has appealed to the Allied Sovereigns, and that the disputes in question are to constitute a prominent part in the ensuing discussions at Aix-la-Chapelle. The Sovereigns and their Ministers must be very shallow politicians if they could suff,r the ob jects of their intended deliberations thus to tran spire. That the subject may be brought into dis cussion may be admitted ; but we cannot ima gine that they have any right to interpose in the disputes except by mediation ; and we conceive that matters are too far advanced in the revolted Colonies for mediation tot be productive of any beneficial effect. That Spain has made libetal offers may also be admitted, but they come too late. \Ve apprehend that it will be impossible for her to regain her authority over the Insurgent Co lonies, and her, only wise measure is to as sent to their independence, and secure herself - a pre-eminence in commercial intercourse. She' perhaps, gain more in the end than if she were to recover a precarious Sovereignty, which, sooner or later, she must inevitably resign. That there are obtrusive adventurers and bad men among the promoters of the revolt it is natural to suppose, but when a regular power of Govern ment is established their authority will soon cease, or be gradually converted into a beneficial controul. All that the Allied Powers have a right to do, beyond a liberal mediation, is to destroy that Buccaneering system which prevails under the Insurgent Flag, and which must of course be highly injurious to the general interests of Commerce. The French Re volution was a dreadful event. For a time it not only spread desolation and horror, but it unhinged the minds of the multitude. It, however, like all the other dispensations of Providence in human transactions, was not unattended with advantages : it tended to warn Sovereigns against tyranny, and the people against a rash subversion of Govern ment, but it afforded important instructions as to the political rights of all mankind. These instruc tions have spread to South America, and the In surrection is therefore partly to be ascribed to the effect of old abuses, but chiefly to the consequent progress of political knowledge. The REMONSTRANCE which Mr, Orator HUNT addressed to the PRINCE RBGENT, in the name of THE INHABITANTS OP WESTMINSTER in general, though it, in fact, issued merely from himself, the man ludicrously stiled Doctor WATsoN, and an ()Nem e individual, who attended the Rabble Meet lug in Palace Yard and seconded the motion, has been returned to him trout the Home Department, and in consequence be sent a Letter to Viscount SIDMOUTH, of which the following is a copy : " 8, Norfolk-street, Sept. 14, " MY Lotto,—:fit the same time that L acknowledge the return of the Remonstrance, which was unanimously agreed to at the Public Meeting held In Palace -yard on Monday, and which was delivered to your Lordship by me, to be presented to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, I cannot avoid adding, that your Lordship appears to be the first Minister of State that has ever dared openly to interpose his otticial au thority to prevent that frank communication between the King and the People which is so essentially necessary to the happiness and safety of both. " I remain, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient and most humble Servant, " H. HUNT. " To Lord Viscomnt Sidmouth, Home Department." Now, as we attended the Meeting in Palace Yard, we, can confidently speak of its real cha racter. There were fewer persons present than we ever saw at any Meeting of the kind. In fact the people might be called a mere handful. There was hardly an individual that seemed dis posed to give the Orator any applause; most of them heard him with frigid indifference, or grin ning contempt. To represent, therefore, such a scanty audience as the Inhabitants of Westmin ster at large ; to pretend that the hackneyed de clamation offered by H. HUNT was the general expresssion of their sentiments, in a Remon strance which came merely from him and his two satellites, who resemble the three Imps, Eo, Meo, and Areo, that follow Trappolin, in the farce of Duke and No Duke; and to accuse Lord SID MOUTH of interposing " official authority be tween the King and the People" by reject- ing that Remonstrance, is an excess of auda city which could only he expected from a Spa-field Reformer. If Lord SlDmotrrn had really pre sented a Remonstrance from such a triumvirate, he would have departed from that dignified sense of official duty which has always marked his public conduct, and which he has maintained with laudable consistency on the present occasion. His Lord ship, in fact, would have offered an insult to the PRINCE REGENT, exercising the regal power in the name and in behalf of his MAJESTY, it he had obtruded upon his Royal Highness such offen sive trash, and from so contemptible a quarter. The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese of Kil kenny, at their last Visitation, voted au Address to Mr. PEEL, in which they have paid a very com plit►tentary tribute to his political talents, and the pure and constitu►tional spirit in which they were exercised, daring the period of his Chief Secre taryship in Ireland. General Sir GREGOR M‘GREcox, of the Pa triotic South American Army, arrived in Dublin on Saturday ; he intends proceeding to Belfast on Monday evening.—(Dublin Erening Post ) In a few days the Duke of IN/ELLINGTON will give a splendid dinner and entertainment at Va lenciennes. Considerable orders for poultry, choice wines, and eatables of all kinds, have been given in Paris by order of his Grace. The Earl of LAUDERDALE 211(1 Lord MAITLAND are now at Milan. After making a tour in Italy, in which they are to be accompanied by Sir Tao. MAITLAND, the party proceed to Corfu, the seat of his Government, as Lord high Commissioner of the lonian Islands. The Grand Duke MICHAEL, after leaving Bath, on Thursday morning, visited Bristol, where, hav ing seen every thing new or rare, he drove to Man geon's Hotel, Clifton, where he remained until Friday, and then proceeded to Plymouth, for the purpose of inspecting the Breakwater and the Diving-bell.
